A group is seeking help from northern Saskatchewan residents in spotting unidentified flying objects.
The Saskatchewan Ufolgy Club hopes more eyes on the sky can help them better document UFO sightings in the province and also nationwide.
The club is looking for spotters to call them when they see a UFO.
“If someone sees something in a certain area we can get other spotters out there with cameras to take pictures and then we can document the sightings,” said club president Diane Saum. “I have found from all the reports coming in from all over Saskatchewan the amount of UFO sightings have not slowed down in recent years — they have actually increased.”
Saum says with more spotters in the north there is a higher likelihood of several reports from the same sighting.
“If four or five people report something and we can get the community out to see the same thing, then those sightings become highly respectable reports.”
Saum also notes that UFOs are not just of extraterrestrial origin, she says many sightings pertain to man-made aircraft.
The ufology club will call local air force bases or other government facilities to find an explanation for every spotting they receive.
If through their research they cannot find a reasonable explanation, they will classify the report as a UFO spotting.
Saum says reports of UFO sightings have come from all over northern Saskatchewan.
She hopes with more spotters in Saskatchewan the club will be able to build a stronger database of UFO sightings in the nation.
